**1973 bastard 340 balance??**

First off, you need to know if the original cast crank is still in the engine or was it changed to a forged piece at some point.....If it is the original cast crank you should have a damper on the front that says right on it "use for cast crank 340 only" also originally they had a weighted torque converter and a neutral (no weights ) flex plate ....So to use an aftermarket torque converter (with no weights) you need the weighted flex plate ......I have one setting right in front of me and yes it has the half moon cutout like in the bottom picture but the moon cutout doesn't look as big as the one pictured.....it is a little smaller....I have the B&M one setting in front of me now and if you look directly across from the moon cutout it will have the part number....It should be 10235.....here is a link to a new one on summit

The 360's had a different bob weight than the 340's so they are weighted different
hope I answered your question

First off this is a car that I bought so I have no Idea what the previous owner did. After all the work I have done on this car. I would not doubt that somthing is not right. I have a slight vibration in park or neutral from 1500-3000 RPM. It just feels like it is not balanced correctly. Driving down the road it is harder to feel but still I know something is not right.

Yes it is a B & M #10235 and the cut out is not as big as the picture I posted.

I have not took off the crank pulley as of yet but it does have a Professional Products Balancer on it. I looked up that part and that balancer comes with 3 Different counter weights that can be bolted on. Is the correct one installed on it???? Who know's..... From what I have went through on this car it could be the wrong weight I don't doubt that for a second.

As far as knowing if the engine has been rebuilt with a Forged Crank..... I highly doubt it but again I would not know unless I drop the pan.

Per the research I just did. The weight on the balancer is correct..
